Baylor is a much better team when she is on the floor. It will hurt next year not to have her. There is no one who can take her place. It will take a team to take her place. She might be the best all around player Baylor has had. If not the best a close second.

That really is such a shame. Truly feel bad for her and Juicy.
Heart breaking. Don't want anyone sick. Just so sad
Maybe not, read Geno thread
No brainer.
Lauren Cox became the 6th player in Lady Bears history to earn First-Team All-America honors from the Associated Press.
Cox's 1st-team nod was the 11th for Baylor in its history
Suzie Snider-Eppers 1977
Sophia Young 2005 & 2006
Brittney Griner 2011, 2012 & 2013
Odyssey Sims 2012, 2013 & 2014
Nina Davis 2015
The senior forward was a third-team selection last season as a junior. She averaged 12.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.7 blocks in 22 games in the shortened 2019-20 season. All in all, it marks the sixth postseason national recognition for Cox. She was named honorable mention All-America by the WBCA in 2018 and 2019 and a third-team All-American by the USBWA in 2019. Cox finished her career with 1,570 points, 982 rebounds, 363 assists and 301 blocks in 131 games played.

"The WNBA announced Thursday that its draft will go on as scheduled on April 17."
Lauren Cox said in a phone interview
"I'm just excited that it's still going to happen. At least it gives us something, because we had no idea what was going to happen. I'm a little disappointed that we won't get to go up to New York and be around the other players and experience that, but I understand why it has to be virtual. I think that's the right decision for the well-being of everyone."
"It would be nice to stay close [to home]. My family would be able to get to see most of my games at home, but at the same time, I'm going to be thankful for wherever I get drafted."
"I was heartbroken, especially playing in my last game and not even knowing it. I cried for a couple of days, but it was nice being home with my family, for them to be able to comfort me."

We cried too Lauren! But we get to watch you play for the Dallas Wings!
Look closely at the shirt of little sister Maddie. Hope that is a sign for her future.

Super duper. Thanks sis.
I have no knowledge about this, but I would expect her to be a first rounder.

She is projected as the second pick everywhere I've seen.

Absolutely. Only second to Inescou.
Nice! Makes sense. She's that good.

One projection linked above had her at #3 behind Sabally. I don't know why Dallas would be silly enough to make that decision.
"After the NCAA canceled its basketball tournaments because of the coronavirus, Lauren Cox returned to her Flower Mound home. As WNBA teams have virtually evaluated her first-team All-American tenure, Cox has run sprints on street hills and grass fields, completed circuit work in her front yard and taken shots on a hoop at a local park.
Her family is planning to dress up Rent The Runway options are set to arrive Thursday eat a special meal and celebrate with cake on draft night. Should she join Dallas, Cox expects her parents and sisters won't be the only ones making sure to attend Wings games when the WNBA resumes."
